While up north, I got stuck in some lose sand on a fire lane. I put the truck into 4WD high and attempted to get out of the sand. When I hit the gas, the only tires that were spinning were my rear tires. I then tried 4WD low and had enough "power" to get out, I do not know if the front wheels were engaging in 4 low. When I got back to my cabin, I engaged 4WD again (indicator light is on) and put the truck into park (to my understanding if 4WD is working correctly, I should not be able to move the tires). I tried spinning the front tires and they turned with each other so the actuator is engaging the 4WD but they were not limited by the truck being in park. here

What could the problem be with the truck? My dad thinks the problem is in the transfer case. is there anything that I can check by myself? Is there anything that I need to do to engage 4WD (like drive in reverse to engage it)? my dad said i may have to do that but I was not given an owner's manual when i bought the truck

Seems to be a common occurrence on these trucks. Dodge dealers recommend engaging 4-lo, then back in 2-wheel drive, then back in 4-wheel drive hi (4H). This sequence apparently resolves the problem. Could be a faulty sensor causing the 4WD not to engage. Again, it is highly recommended to stop, put the transmission in reverse, go a few feet, stop, then back to drive. [links]

Let’s look at a few of the usual suspects.

This is another culprit that could result in a flashing 4WD signal on the dashboard. This signal might be red in color instead of orange. This happens when you are in 4WD 4Lo (Low range) mode and you want to engage the rear diff locker. The rear diff locker also uses a type of electric actuator to engage the locker inside the differential. The rear locker is used under challenging off-road situations where you require maximum traction on as many wheels as possible.

Follow this simple procedure to isolate the actuator problem. Next, let’s look at an example of 4WD flashing on a Dodge Ram. [links]
